BMF Champion Charles Oliveira <\/a>has hit back at Nate Diaz<\/a>, stating he is not interested in a bout.\u00a0<\/p>\n Fresh off a masterclass at UFC 326 in March\u2014where he shut out Max Holloway with a 50-45 sweep to claim the BMF title\u2014Oliveira is prioritizing a return to a lightweight title shot. Diaz claimed he would \u201cbeat the f***g st\u201d out of the Brazilian. Oliveira, 36, showed little interest in Diaz\u2019s provocations.<\/p>\n With the lightweight title unification between Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje set to headline the UFC Freedom 250 card at the White House, Oliveira is positioning himself. Oliveira confirmed his readiness to serve as the official backup fighter for the June 14 main event. <\/p>\n However, the \u201cBMF\u201d holder has demanded a formal guarantee: if his services aren\u2019t required, he must be the next in line for the winner. A potential clash with Topuria would be a shot at redemption for Oliveira. In July 2025 at UFC 317, Topuria shocked the world by stopping \u201cDo Bronx\u201d with a clinical right hook in the first round to capture the vacant title. Oliveira noted his concern that if Topuria wins in June, the Spaniard might look to jump to 170 lbs to face Islam Makhachev.<\/p>\n Oliveira Reacts<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve heard so many times that Conor is coming back and nothing happens. But one of the reasons I believe he might return this time is that Dana usually wouldn\u2019t say anything, and this time he has spoken. So I do believe he could come back to fight at [International] Fight Week. I\u2019m going after the title. I want to become champion again, but I think nobody is naive, everyone is doing the math. <\/p>\n \u201cThe belt will be unified in June. I could be a backup for the fight. But I stay focused on training, make weight, and when I get there, there\u2019s no fight [for me]. I think that if Topuria wins, he moves up a division and the belt becomes vacant. Regardless of whether it becomes vacant or not, I\u2019m next in line. And then imagine the UFC says, July or August, let\u2019s make a fight for you against this or that,\u201d Oliveira said <\/a><\/p>\n Find all the\u00a0latest boxing news<\/a>\u00a0and MMA breaking updates on\u00a0boxingnews.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING boxingnews.COM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Facebook: theScore
